Popis: In today's world, stress is a big problem that affects people's health and happiness. More and more people are feeling stressed out, which can lead to lots of health issues like breathing problems, feeling overwhelmed, heart attack, diabetes, etc. This work endeavors to forecast stress and non-stress occurrences among college students by applying various machine learning algorithms: Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, AdaBoost, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, and K-nearest Neighbors. The primary objective of this work is to leverage a research study to predict and mitigate stress and non-stress based on the collected questionnaire dataset. We conducted a workshop with the primary goal of studying the stress levels found among the students. This workshop was attended by Approximately 843 students aged between 18 to 21 years old. A questionnaire was given to the students validated under the guidance of the experts from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India, on which our dataset is based. The survey consists of 28 questions, aiming to comprehensively understand the multidimensional aspects of stress, including emotional well-being, physical health, academic performance, relationships, and leisure. This work finds that Support Vector Machines have a maximum accuracy for Stress, reaching 95\%. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of stress determinants. It aims to improve college student's overall quality of life and academic success, addressing the multifaceted nature of stress.
Comment: This paper was presented at an IEEE conference and is 5 pages long with 5 figures. It discusses machine learning algorithms for detecting mental stress in college students
